Sorry...  No, no gstoraster in error_log.  From UnifiedLinuxDriver_1.02.tar.gz
I extracted ML-191xspl2.ppd and copied it in a subdirectory of my home

/usr/lib/cups/filter.

Here it is:

# cat Samsung_ML-191x_252x_Series.ppd | grep NickName
*ShortNickName: "ML-191x 252x"
*NickName:      "Samsung ML-191x 252x Series"

and:

# cat Samsung_ML-191x_252x_Series.ppd | grep cupsFilter
*cupsFilter:  "application/vnd.cups-postscript 0 rastertosamsungspl"

What now?  Thanks...
